13:42 NOTTINGHAM: OWD WYATT (Trap 1)
Owd Wyatt, a promising young greyhound, is set to race at Nottingham (13:42). Despite a shaky start in his debut, where he stumbled out of the traps, Wyatt demonstrated potential by surging forward and securing a third-place finish from an unlikely position. With a bit of improvement in his trial times, Wyatt is expected to make a strong showing in this race, especially given his notable early speed, which he hopes to showcase on Sky Sports Racing today.
A key competitor for Wyatt is his neighbouring greyhound, Burgess Gambler (Trap 2). While not the quickest out of the traps, Burgess Gambler has a reputation for being a strong chaser, often making up ground in the latter stages of the race. Though he hasn't clinched a graded race win yet, there's a chance he could still place in this contest.
19:49 PERRY BARR: SHOCKWAVE WICCA (Trap 6)
In Birmingham, the Perry Barr race (19:49) features SHOCKWAVE WICCA (Trap 6), a greyhound with a history of performing well in Open races. Despite not being the fastest starter, Shockwave Wicca tends to make significant gains from behind, which suits her well in this race where she starts on scratch. As one of the classier contenders, with experience in A2/A3 grades, she is expected to handle the eight-meter handicap comfortably, especially against lesser-ranked competitors.
Another contender to watch is Trubbys Severn (Trap 4), who has shown potential in her limited runs at the track, including a recent handicap win despite a slow start and crowding. She has the determination to compete fiercely, especially if the leading contenders face challenges.
21:46 ROMFORD: DROOPYS NAUGHTY (Trap 5)
Finally, at Romford (21:46), the S1 race promises to be competitive. DROOPYS NAUGHTY (Trap 5), with limited experience over six bends, has already secured two victories at long odds. She has shown good pace around the early corners, which could give her an advantage in this slightly less competitive race. However, she'll need to be at her best to overcome Jeopardy Jasmine (Trap 2), who boasts the fastest recorded time in the field. Although not the fastest out of the traps, Jeopardy Jasmine could still pose a significant threat if she finds a clear path early in the race.
